Advice anyone?
Ok, so my job isn't great but it's not terrible. The only thing that is are the hours. I have two kids and work 6 days a week sometimes 9 10 hour days mostly on the weekends. I told the boss this when I started but she still keeps handing me these shifts like 11 to 8 three days in a row, and I don't know how to go about talking to her about it without seeming like I'm complaining or anything. I need to work but I also need to be home with my family when I can. Does anyone have any advice on how to go about explaining this to her?
I was a store manager at Dollar Tree. Ask your Manager for an availability form. Fill it out , make a copy , and give it to her. They can't make you work overtime, but she also doesn't have to adhere to your availability. I would def talk to her and give her the form. If she's not being reasonable about it contact your DM ..
Hi Jessica Farmer this is certainly a very valid concern and something that you most definitely need to speak to your boss about. I would ask her if she has some time to speak with you before or after your shift. Then calmly and rationally explain that while you love your job (you can tell her something specific) tell her that as a parent you feel that you would like to change around your hours so you can support your children a bit more. Ask her HOW you both can make that a reality and what you need to do! You have got this! Remember be strong, but calm.
Repeat to 'her' just what U said to 'us'! U have some great responses! Use them & remember 'SMILE' when U speak! It goes a long way to relax U both!
